NOTW XXI: A Return to Foxford

[Izipo]

I was going to vote Mergle, but since I'm already late and D'artagnan59 has a gazillion votes against her, I don't feel the need anymore.

But if you really want my opinion about this, I think another innocent - a foolish and reckless one maybe- is likely to die this evening.

 

[J-man]

There isn't any reason to vote since D'artagnan59 has so much votes against her. I'll abstain.

Voting Is Closed!

post up tomorrow morn, after the SAT2s

The cats seemed to know something was wrong, and coiled closely around D'artagnan's legs, hissing at the Villagers who came to bring her to the gallows. she hobbled forwards with the villagers, and though mopst had voted for her, most seemed to regret thier decision.
The Noose was passed around her neck, and, as she fell, her thin neck was snapped. nothing happened, and the villagers nodded sadly in silence...

Spoiler :

Dartagnan was innocent

It is now night

 

[thomas.berubeg]

The rising sun was darkened this morning. Heavy storm clouds loomed over the village, and the air was heavy and oppressive.
despite this, the villagers gathered in the square, performing the headcount that had become the sad tradition... and the count was one lower than that of the previous night. The ranger, though rarely present in the village, was, however, considered one of the community... many had liked him and come to trust him in the past days.
no more, as there he was, mauled and dismembered, and hanging in the noose that had been used to execute the others...

a cruel taunt towards the village.

Spoiler :

J-Man was innocent

PS... i apologize for this disjointed and incoherent post...

The Day is OPen, Voting is Open

 

[Love]

It's a shame that innocent people have to get killed. I choose to abstain so i don't kill one more.

 

[Rheinmetall]

The cripple emerges from his hut, coughing.

"Yet another dead *cough*"

Listens to the silence.

"Did the wolves *cough* discourage you *cough* already? Well? *cough* In that case I *cough* vote Frozen in Ice."

 

[Mergle]

Villagers! by abstaining you allow the wolves to conceal themselves by depriving us of voting pattern evidence.

Now, J-Man, Jhoniten's strong defender, is shown to be innocent. Therefore, I no longer suspect Jhoniten. Likewise, as Rheinmetall and Frozen in Ice voted for me for accusing Jhoniten, I don't suspect them (wolves had no motivation to defend Jhoniten, and it made more sense to pile on Adrogans as it meant D'Art was doomed the next day). Izipo may be innoccent, or may have vbeen being tricksy (went for me yesterday).

For now, I vote Love[ for his unhelpful abstention, but am happy to change if anyonwe can produce real evidence.

<snip>. Izipo may be innoccent, or may have vbeen being tricksy (went for me yesterday).

And goes for you again. Mergle to hang.

No evidence, just following a hunch.

 

[Frozen In Ice]

I too think that Mergle is guilty.

I thought abstaining was a better option than lynching innocent persons. Although, i'm not going to abstain anymore, i'm going to vote on you, Mergle. I think you just were looking for a reason to vote on someone. Me abstaining as a reason seems kinda lame.

Shame! No beer for you!

 

[Mergle]

Well, thanks for joining in Love. Ack, all I know is that I'm innocent. And as its not very nice to turn on someone trying to defend you, I'll go with Frozen in Ice and trust Rheinmetall knows what he's doing.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

we've had so few votes i'm exteding the day to tomorrow

 

[Icekommander]

I'd really have to say Mergle lacking other evidence

 

[BananaLee]

I dislike bandwagons.
So just for the sake of going against the bandwagon, I shall vote for Frozen in Ice unless he says something.

 

[Frozen In Ice]

That seems somewhat hypocritical of you, BananaLee, considering you just jumped on bandwagon #2.

 

[merciary]

Well, I can't jump o either bandwagon without some facts of why I should. So I'm sorry I must abstain.

 

[Niklas]

I think it is cowardly to abstain. Collateral damage is inevitable when chasing werebeasts, and we cannot stop to cry over every innocent lost. It may sound harsh but that is the simple truth. Easier for me to say who is not born to this village, sure, but no less true. I cannot say I am certain, but we need to end this day, and better try and fail than not to try. Mergle.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Day is over. Post soon

Tomorrow, new rule will be implemented: Any abstains or no shows will receive a vote against them.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

That day, most of the village remained silent, leaving the &#8220;dirty duty&#8221; to the more vocal brethren. Interestingly, the vote centered on one of the most vocal, The Wanderer Mergle. Though not a local, Mergle was not to be spared the punishment that the village metted out to those they deemed a threat&#8230; as any determined a werewolf would be in these dark times.
Mergle was dragged and bound in the center of the village. He was silent and impassive, until the noose was placed around his Neck. With his last breaths, he spoke:
&#8220;Cahir Abbey, Never will I look upon thy golden domes and gilded walls, for here I rest, murdered falsely for a cause not my own.&#8221;
He stepped from the stool, and died, quckly and silently. As his body was examined, a small medallion, bearing the coat of arms of the Regent of Cahir Abbey was found around his neck. His purse carried more money than most of the village had ever seen.

Spoiler :

Mergle was innocent, a younger son of one of the great families of Elohia

It is Night
